Hiked the "M" to Baldy on a beautiful Saturday afternoon in Bozeman. The steepness will set your thighs on fire in a couple of sections, but the views that continually open up are well worth the effort. We spent about 4-5 hours up and back enjoying the views the whole way. The false summit contains the register. Continue north for 2 more prominences and you will get the actual peak. There are cairns at both prominences beyond the false summit. The trails are easy to follow. Bring plenty of water.

This was my second attempt this year - too much snow in April. Did the hike up and down from the "M" trailhead in 4:45; I find it very funny that the summit log is not on the summit, and is on a point that is obviously lower than any other points along the ridge.

Climbed on a muggy spring day with weather forming over Gallatin Valley all day long. Still lots of snow on the east side of the ridge. After summiting, reached the treeline just as the first thunder started to roll in. Fortunately the bulk of the storm moved north and we only got a little rain. Great day.

From "M" trailhead took Bridger Foothills trail to junction with Sypes canyon and then up to the top from there. Came down the main ridge trail creating a loop with very little backtracking, want to try doing it the other direction. Snowshoes were needed as several feet of unconsolidated snow covered the trails.
